A legal battle between Tesla and the family of Naibel Benavides, a university student who tragically died in a car accident, began this week in Florida. The crash, which occurred in 2019 and resulted in the death of Benavides and serious injuries to her boyfriend, was allegedly caused by a Tesla Model S driving on Autopilot mode. Attorneys representing the plaintiffs argue that the driver assistance feature should have warned the driver and applied brakes, but instead, it ignored red lights and signs, causing the fatal accident.
